L. B. Mek said:
thank you!
I read these words
smile
sigh
close my eyes and fly
find that place, in me
where Poesy dwells
and water its gardens
your poetry, my water...
(bless you
for choosing to share
your poetic genius with us
dear Fay)
and there\'s a quote
by Henry Theroux I can\'t quite place
or word intact, frustratingly
but
it\'s something like:
\'while walking
and the majesty of nature
overwhelms us
we simply stop trying to live
and just, Be\'

What a rugged coast it must be at times, but so beautiful in your description. There is something about the force of nature that is so thrilling and exhilarating, and I\'m sure that the people who are born to it understand this all too well. Beautifully penned dear friend!

Brought to my mind that - though some can move away to more lucrative pastures and relax in plentiful \'green and pleasant\' landscapes - the feeling of being \'born to it\' must run deep in the veins of many locals.

Dried and faded, it still holds the essence of what was fresh and beautiful, forever young, like the love that never dies. Such a beautiful, touching poem, loved it.

Just as it should remain. The touching sensitivity of this piece reaches out and though it can never hold for the reader that which it holds for the two, it holds the depth of the meaning of what love brings to our humble table. Life\'s treasure.
A must for my favs.

This is wonderful. Two things just changed for me,:
1) I have to look for the \"Untrod fields\"
2) I have to start a file for \"Gems.\"
I read this and felt a lot better about myself. I think you have the heart of a poet. Never have I thought about what a poet is in quite the same way that you\'ve expressed here. Loved it. -Phil A.

It takes the true heart of a poet to recognize the treasures that others may never see. Your heart is bursting with treasures and I am always in awe.

L. B. Mek said:
simply Brilliant, dear fay
makes me want to go scribble
something/anything, poetic
this very moment!
(Poesy\'s, \'gold rush\'
evermore abundant, with vigour never dwindling
\'excavating\' from within, while digging
everything, that hovers near
its starving, sense\'s..
and it all begins, anew
next time, a kid
reads a verse and begins
to see
that gold nugget in the sky
and those pearls, hiding in clouds
while threading upon \'liquid silver\'
rivers, of life)

Handshakes are a polite greeting of course.My late father\'s handshake to me a few days before he passed,was the \"strongest\" I have ever felt.This was love at its very best.I so returned the compliment,holding back tears.

I was one o them raised to believe a handshake must be delivered firmly unless there\'s a good reason to hold back on the squeeze ..
Today\'s offering makes perfect sense dear lady Fay .......... and I do now believe universally so ..... x

Thanks muchly, Fay for this shorty.
Not to detract from your piece in any way, it reminded me of one of my favorite poems (ignore the artwork):

Is this the \"Hard Rock Cafe?\" \"No welcome,\" there either.
You spoke of \"cavemen,\" what age are these caves?
Looks like an interesting place to visit, but I wouldn\'t want to live there. Thank you for some interesting insight to a piece of history, - Phil A.

Kinver caves.Cheap.no mod cons.Fully air conditioned.I know the caves at Chedder are the same temperature inside,all year round.Hence why ancient man and woman could live within during harsh winters.
Glad you enjoyed your \"tour\" at Kinver however.Been once.A long time ago.

What an interesting place, Fay. Would be my kind of holiday. A visit to a history of ordinary people with real if slightly different lives. No pomp and ceremony involved.
I hope you found a decent B&B in the end.....
